Responsibilities- Own the SEO and organic growth strategy, driving qualified traffic, signups, conversions, and revenue.
- Develop SEO strategies for a product-led, self-serve acquisition model, optimizing the journey from organic discovery to product signup.
- Lead technical SEO across site architecture, crawlability, indexing, Core Web Vitals, internal linking, and structured data.

- Manage external agencies, writers, freelancers, and SEO partners, holding them accountable for measurable outcomes.
- Partner with performance marketing teams and use paid acquisition insights to improve organic growth and overall acquisition efficiency.
Requirements- 6+ years of hands-on SEO experience, including technical SEO and organic growth.
- Experience owning SEO within a PLG, self-serve SaaS, marketplace, or technology company where users can discover, sign up for, and use or purchase the product without a traditional sales process.
